Professional Secrecy.

We learn from The ITsio1i fSd5onls that
3 case was lately tried before French
cour; in which the secrecy imposed upon
medical men by the law was pleaded by
P iysician As his Justification for ref'ls-
ing to certify as 10 the nature and dura-
ton Of the last illness OF a man who had
insured his life in the sum Of 10000
fnnoS The life insurance company de-
mandei the certificate As one Of the con
ditiOns on which il would pay over the
amount u the estate, and il appears that
the heirs. for their psrt. united in at-~olv-
Ing the physician from the obligation Of
secrecy But the Doctor held that it was
aoi within the legal power Of any heir or
representative Of the deceased 10 dis olive
be obligation-that, he contended, was
function vested only in the sick person
up TO the time Of death, and one tina,
oulI not pas into other hands after the
death He held aIso that be Was not at
liberty 10 use his own discretion in the
matter, but wAs absolutely bound to -
crecy.
He laid the question before his profes-
sionsl brethren OF Havre, the town in
which the case was tried, and they sus-
iainei him. Furthermore, the court af-
ir'ued the validity of the position taken.
Ii was laid down that, admitting that
patient might in certain cases relieve his
medical adviser Of the obligation OF secre-
cy, that power was absolutely personal
and could noi be transmitted 10 the heirs !;
also. tina; the physician must he the sole
judge As % whether or not. in any given
